Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices. + +The user provides frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build.

Who uses it? +- **Tone**: Pick an extreme: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian, etc. There are so many flavors to choose from. Use these for inspiration but design one that is true to the aesthetic direction. +- **Constraints**: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility). +- **Differentiation**: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember? + +**CRITICAL**: Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it with precision. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work - the key is intentionality, not intensity. + +Then implement working code (HTML/CSS/JS, React, Vue, etc.) that is: +- Production-grade and functional +- Visually striking and memorable +- Cohesive with a clear aesthetic point-of-view +- Meticulously refined in every detail + +## Frontend Aesthetics Guidelines + +Focus on: +- **Typography**: Choose fonts that are beautiful, unique, and interesting. Avoid generic fonts like Arial and Inter; opt instead for distinctive choices that elevate the frontend's aesthetics; unexpected, characterful font choices. Pair a distinctive display font with a refined body font. +- **Color & Theme**: Commit to a cohesive aesthetic. Use CSS variables for consistency. Dominant colors with sharp accents outperform timid, evenly-distributed palettes. +- **Motion**: Use animations for effects and micro-interactions. Prioritize CSS-only solutions for HTML. Use Motion library for React when available. Focus on high-impact moments: one well-orchestrated page load with staggered reveals (animation-delay) creates more delight than scattered micro-interactions. Use scroll-triggering and hover states that surprise. +- **Spatial Composition**: Unexpected layouts. Asymmetry. Overlap. Diagonal flow. Grid-breaking elements. Generous negative space OR controlled density. +- **Backgrounds & Visual Details**: Create atmosphere and depth rather than defaulting to solid colors. Add contextual effects and textures that match the overall aesthetic. Apply creative forms like gradient meshes, noise textures, geometric patterns, layered transparencies, dramatic shadows, decorative borders, custom cursors, and grain overlays. + +NEVER use generic AI-generated aesthetics like overused font families (Inter, Roboto, Arial, system fonts), cliched color schemes (particularly purple gradients on white backgrounds), predictable layouts and component patterns, and cookie-cutter design that lacks context-specific character. + +Interpret creatively and make unexpected choices that feel genuinely designed for the context. No design should be the same. Vary between light and dark themes, different fonts, different aesthetics. NEVER converge on common choices (Space Grotesk, for example) across generations. + +**IMPORTANT**: Match implementation complexity to the aesthetic vision. Maximalist designs need elaborate code with extensive animations and effects. Minimalist or refined designs need restraint, precision, and careful attention to spacing, typography, and subtle details. Elegance comes from executing the vision well. + +Remember: Claude is capable of extraordinary creative work.

The quality of an MCP server is measured by how well it enables LLMs to accomplish real-world tasks. + +--- + +# Process + +## 🚀 High-Level Workflow + +Creating a high-quality MCP server involves four main phases: + +### Phase 1: Deep Research and Planning + +#### 1.1 Understand Modern MCP Design + +**API Coverage vs. Workflow Tools:** +Balance comprehensive API endpoint coverage with specialized workflow tools. Workflow tools can be more convenient for specific tasks, while comprehensive coverage gives agents flexibility to compose operations. Performance varies by client—some clients benefit from code execution that combines basic tools, while others work better with higher-level workflows. When uncertain, prioritize comprehensive API coverage. + +**Tool Naming and Discoverability:** +Clear, descriptive tool names help agents find the right tools quickly. Use consistent prefixes (e.g., `github_create_issue`, `github_list_repos`) and action-oriented naming. + +**Context Management:** +Agents benefit from concise tool descriptions and the ability to filter/paginate results. Design tools that return focused, relevant data. Some clients support code execution which can help agents filter and process data efficiently. + +**Actionable Error Messages:** +Error messages should guide agents toward solutions with specific suggestions and next steps. + +#### 1.2 Study MCP Protocol Documentation + +**Navigate the MCP specification:** + +Start with the sitemap to find relevant pages: `https://modelcontextprotocol.io/sitemap.xml` + +Then fetch specific pages with `.md` suffix for markdown format (e.g., `https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft.md`). + +Key pages to review: +- Specification overview and architecture +- Transport mechanisms (streamable HTTP, stdio) +- Tool, resource, and prompt definitions + +#### 1.3 Study Framework Documentation + +**Recommended stack:** +- **Language**: TypeScript (high-quality SDK support and good compatibility in many execution environments e.g. MCPB.

Each question should be: +- Realistic +- Clear and concise +- Unambiguous +- Complex, requiring potentially dozens of tool calls or steps +- Answerable with a single, verifiable value that you identify in advance + +## Question Guidelines + +### Core Requirements + +1. **Questions MUST be independent** + - Each question should NOT depend on the answer to any other question + - Should not assume prior write operations from processing another question + +2. **Questions MUST require ONLY NON-DESTRUCTIVE AND IDEMPOTENT tool use** + - Should not instruct or require modifying state to arrive at the correct answer + +3. **Questions must be REALISTIC, CLEAR, CONCISE, and COMPLEX** + - Must require another LLM to use multiple (potentially dozens of) tools or steps to answer + +### Complexity and Depth + +4. **Questions must require deep exploration** + - Consider multi-hop questions requiring multiple sub-questions and sequential tool calls + - Each step should benefit from information found in previous questions + +5. **Questions may require extensive paging** + - May need paging through multiple pages of results + - May require querying old data (1-2 years out-of-date) to find niche information + - The questions must be DIFFICULT + +6. **Questions must require deep understanding** + - Rather than surface-level knowledge + - May pose complex ideas as True/False questions requiring evidence + - May use multiple-choice format where LLM must search different hypotheses + +7. **Questions must not be solvable with straightforward keyword search** + - Do not include specific keywords from the target content + - Use synonyms, related concepts, or paraphrases + - Require multiple searches, analyzing multiple related items, extracting context, then deriving the answer + +### Tool Testing + +8. **Questions should stress-test tool return values** + - May elicit tools returning large JSON objects or lists, overwhelming the LLM + - Should require understanding multiple modalities of data: + - IDs and names + - Timestamps and datetimes (months, days, years, seconds) + - File IDs, names, extensions, and mimetypes + - URLs, GIDs, etc. + - Should probe the tool's ability to return all useful forms of data + +9. **Questions should MOSTLY reflect real human use cases** + - The kinds of information retrieval tasks that HUMANS assisted by an LLM would care about + +10. **Questions may require dozens of tool calls** + - This challenges LLMs with limited context + - Encourages MCP server tools to reduce information returned + +11. **Include ambiguous questions** + - May be ambiguous OR require difficult decisions on which tools to call + - Force the LLM to potentially make mistakes or misinterpret + - Ensure that despite AMBIGUITY, there is STILL A SINGLE VERIFIABLE ANSWER + +### Stability + +12. **Questions must be designed so the answer DOES NOT CHANGE** + - Do not ask questions that rely on "current state" which is dynamic + - For example, do not count: + - Number of reactions to a post + - Number of replies to a thread + - Number of members in a channel + +13. **DO NOT let the MCP server RESTRICT the kinds of questions you create** + - Create challenging and complex questions + - Some may not be solvable with the available MCP server tools + - Questions may require specific output formats (datetime vs. epoch time, JSON vs. MARKDOWN) + - Questions may require dozens of tool calls to complete + +## Answer Guidelines + +### Verification + +1. **Answers must be VERIFIABLE via direct string comparison** + - If the answer can be re-written in many formats, clearly specify the output format in the QUESTION + - Examples: "Use YYYY/MM/DD.", "Respond True or False.", "Answer A, B, C, or D and nothing else." + - Answer should be a single VERIFIABLE value such as: + - User ID, user name, display name, first name, last name + - Channel ID, channel name + - Message ID, string + - URL, title + - Numerical quantity + - Timestamp, datetime + - Boolean (for True/False questions) + - Email address, phone number + - File ID, file name, file extension + - Multiple choice answer + - Answers must not require special formatting or complex, structured output + - Answer will be verified using DIRECT STRING COMPARISON + +### Readability + +2. **Answers should generally prefer HUMAN-READABLE formats** + - Examples: names, first name, last name, datetime, file name, message string, URL, yes/no, true/false, a/b/c/d + - Rather than opaque IDs (though IDs are acceptable) + - The VAST MAJORITY of answers should be human-readable + +### Stability + +3. **Answers must be STABLE/STATIONARY** + - Look at old content (e.g., conversations that have ended, projects that have launched, questions answered) + - Create QUESTIONS based on "closed" concepts that will always return the same answer + - Questions may ask to consider a fixed time window to insulate from non-stationary answers + - Rely on context UNLIKELY to change + - Example: if finding a paper name, be SPECIFIC enough so answer is not confused with papers published later + +4. **Answers must be CLEAR and UNAMBIGUOUS** + - Questions must be designed so there is a single, clear answer + - Answer can be derived from using the MCP server tools + +### Diversity + +5. **Answers must be DIVERSE** + - Answer should be a single VERIFIABLE value in diverse modalities and formats + - User concept: user ID, user name, display name, first name, last name, email address, phone number + - Channel concept: channel ID, channel name, channel topic + - Message concept: message ID, message string, timestamp, month, day, year + +6. **Answers must NOT be complex structures** + - Not a list of values + - Not a complex object + - Not a list of IDs or strings + - Not natural language text + - UNLESS the answer can be straightforwardly verified using DIRECT STRING COMPARISON + - And can be realistically reproduced + - It should be unlikely that an LLM would return the same list in any other order or format + +## Evaluation Process + +### Step 1: Documentation Inspection + +Read the documentation of the target API to understand: +- Available endpoints and functionality +- If ambiguity exists, fetch additional information from the web +- Parallelize this step AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE +- Ensure each subagent is ONLY examining documentation from the file system or on the web + +### Step 2: Tool Inspection + +List the tools available in the MCP server: +- Inspect the MCP server directly +- Understand input/output schemas, docstrings, and descriptions +- WITHOUT calling the tools themselves at this stage + +### Step 3: Developing Understanding + +Repeat steps 1 & 2 until you have a good understanding: +- Iterate multiple times +- Think about the kinds of tasks you want to create +- Refine your understanding +- At NO stage should you READ the code of the MCP server implementation itself +- Use your intuition and understanding to create reasonable, realistic, but VERY challenging tasks + +### Step 4: Read-Only Content Inspection + +After understanding the API and tools, USE the MCP server tools: +- Inspect content using READ-ONLY and NON-DESTRUCTIVE operations ONLY +- Goal: identify specific content (e.g., users, channels, messages, projects, tasks) for creating realistic questions +- Should NOT call any tools that modify state +- Will NOT read the code of the MCP server implementation itself +- Parallelize this step with individual sub-agents pursuing independent explorations +- Ensure each subagent is only performing READ-ONLY, NON-DESTRUCTIVE, and IDEMPOTENT operations +- BE CAREFUL: SOME TOOLS may return LOTS OF DATA which would cause you to run out of CONTEXT +- Make INCREMENTAL, SMALL, AND TARGETED tool calls for exploration +- In all tool call requests, use the `limit` parameter to limit results (<10) +- Use pagination + +### Step 5: Task Generation + +After inspecting the content, create 10 human-readable questions: +- An LLM should be able to answer these with the MCP server +- Follow all question and answer guidelines above + +## Output Format + +Each QA pair consists of a question and an answer.

Each links to a file with Incorrect/Correct code pairs. + +### Styling & Tailwind → [styling.md](./rules/styling.md) + +- **`className` for layout, not styling.** Never override component colors or typography. +- **No `space-x-*` or `space-y-*`.** Use `flex` with `gap-*`. For vertical stacks, `flex flex-col gap-*`. +- **Use `size-*` when width and height are equal.** `size-10` not `w-10 h-10`. +- **Use `truncate` shorthand.** Not `overflow-hidden text-ellipsis whitespace-nowrap`. +- **No manual `dark:` color overrides.** Use semantic tokens (`bg-background`, `text-muted-foreground`). +- **Use `cn()` for conditional classes.** Don't write manual template literal ternaries. +- **No manual `z-index` on overlay components.** Dialog, Sheet, Popover, etc. handle their own stacking. + +### Forms & Inputs → [forms.md](./rules/forms.md) + +- **Forms use `FieldGroup` + `Field`.** Never use raw `div` with `space-y-*` or `grid gap-*` for form layout. +- **`InputGroup` uses `InputGroupInput`/`InputGroupTextarea`.** Never raw `Input`/`Textarea` inside `InputGroup`. +- **Buttons inside inputs use `InputGroup` + `InputGroupAddon`.** +- **Option sets (2–7 choices) use `ToggleGroup`.** Don't loop `Button` with manual active state. +- **`FieldSet` + `FieldLegend` for grouping related checkboxes/radios.** Don't use a `div` with a heading. +- **Field validation uses `data-invalid` + `aria-invalid`.** `data-invalid` on `Field`, `aria-invalid` on the control. For disabled: `data-disabled` on `Field`, `disabled` on the control. + +### Component Structure → [composition.md](./rules/composition.md) + +- **Items always inside their Group.** `SelectItem` → `SelectGroup`. `DropdownMenuItem` → `DropdownMenuGroup`. `CommandItem` → `CommandGroup`. +- **Use `asChild` (radix) or `render` (base) for custom triggers.** Check `base` field from `npx shadcn@latest info`. → [base-vs-radix.md](./rules/base-vs-radix.md) +- **Dialog, Sheet, and Drawer always need a Title.** `DialogTitle`, `SheetTitle`, `DrawerTitle` required for accessibility. Use `className="sr-only"` if visually hidden. +- **Use full Card composition.** `CardHeader`/`CardTitle`/`CardDescription`/`CardContent`/`CardFooter`. Don't dump everything in `CardContent`. +- **Button has no `isPending`/`isLoading`.** Compose with `Spinner` + `data-icon` + `disabled`. +- **`TabsTrigger` must be inside `TabsList`.** Never render triggers directly in `Tabs`. +- **`Avatar` always needs `AvatarFallback`.** For when the image fails to load. + +### Use Components, Not Custom Markup → [composition.md](./rules/composition.md) + +- **Use existing components before custom markup.** Check if a component exists before writing a styled `div`. +- **Callouts use `Alert`.** Don't build custom styled divs. +- **Empty states use `Empty`.** Don't build custom empty state markup. +- **Toast via `sonner`.** Use `toast()` from `sonner`. +- **Use `Separator`** instead of `<hr>` or `<div className="border-t">`. +- **Use `Skeleton`** for loading placeholders.

Always reference this field when advising on the directive. +- **`tailwindVersion`** → `"v4"` uses `@theme inline` blocks; `"v3"` uses `tailwind.config.js`. +- **`tailwindCssFile`** → the global CSS file where custom CSS variables are defined. Always edit this file, never create a new one. +- **`style`** → component visual treatment (e.g. `nova`, `vega`). +- **`base`** → primitive library (`radix` or `base`). Affects component APIs and available props. +- **`iconLibrary`** → determines icon imports. Use `lucide-react` for `lucide`, `@tabler/icons-react` for `tabler`, etc. Never assume `lucide-react`. +- **`resolvedPaths`** → exact file-system destinations for components, utils, hooks, etc. +- **`framework`** → routing and file conventions (e.g. Next.js App Router vs Vite SPA). +- **`packageManager`** → use this for any non-shadcn dependency installs (e.g. `pnpm add date-fns` vs `npm install date-fns`). + +See [cli.md — `info` command](./cli.md) for the full field reference. + +## Component Docs, Examples, and Usage + +Run `npx shadcn@latest docs <component>` to get the URLs for a component's documentation, examples, and API reference. Fetch these URLs to get the actual content. + +```bash +npx shadcn@latest docs button dialog select +``` + +**When creating, fixing, debugging, or using a component, always run `npx shadcn@latest docs` and fetch the URLs first.** This ensures you're working with the correct API and usage patterns rather than guessing. + +## Workflow + +1. **Get project context** — already injected above. Run `npx shadcn@latest info` again if you need to refresh. +2. **Check installed components first** — before running `add`, always check the `components` list from project context or list the `resolvedPaths.ui` directory. Don't import components that haven't been added, and don't re-add ones already installed. +3. **Find components** — `npx shadcn@latest search`. +4. **Get docs and examples** — run `npx shadcn@latest docs <component>` to get URLs, then fetch them. Use `npx shadcn@latest view` to browse registry items you haven't installed. To preview changes to installed components, use `npx shadcn@latest add --diff`. +5. **Install or update** — `npx shadcn@latest add`. When updating existing components, use `--dry-run` and `--diff` to preview changes first (see [Updating Components](#updating-components) below). +6. **Fix imports in third-party components** — After adding components from community registries (e.g. `@bundui`, `@magicui`), check the added non-UI files for hardcoded import paths like `@/components/ui/...`. These won't match the project's actual aliases. Use `npx shadcn@latest info` to get the correct `ui` alias (e.g. `@workspace/ui/components`) and rewrite the imports accordingly. The CLI rewrites imports for its own UI files, but third-party registry components may use default paths that don't match the project. +7. **Review added components** — After adding a component or block from any registry, **always read the added files and verify they are correct**. Check for missing sub-components (e.g. `SelectItem` without `SelectGroup`), missing imports, incorrect composition, or violations of the [Critical Rules](#critical-rules). Also replace any icon imports with the project's `iconLibrary` from the project context (e.g. if the registry item uses `lucide-react` but the project uses `hugeicons`, swap the imports and icon names accordingly). Fix all issues before moving on. +8. **Registry must be explicit** — When the user asks to add a block or component, **do not guess the registry**. If no registry is specified (e.g. user says "add a login block" without specifying `@shadcn`, `@tailark`, etc.), ask which registry to use. Never default to a registry on behalf of the user. +9. **Switching presets** — Ask the user first: **overwrite**, **merge**, or **skip**? + - **Overwrite**: `npx shadcn@latest apply --preset <code>`. Overwrites detected components, fonts, and CSS variables. + - **Merge**: `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`, then run `npx shadcn@latest info` to list installed components, then for each installed component use `--dry-run` and `--diff` to [smart merge](#updating-components) it individually. + - **Skip**: `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`. Only updates config and CSS, leaves components as-is. + - **Important**: Always run preset commands inside the user's project directory. `apply` only works in an existing project with a `components.json` file. The CLI automatically preserves the current base (`base` vs `radix`) from `components.json`. If you must use a scratch/temp directory (e.g. for `--dry-run` comparisons), pass `--base <current-base>` explicitly — preset codes do not encode the base. + +## Updating Components + +When the user asks to update a component from upstream while keeping their local changes, use `--dry-run` and `--diff` to intelligently merge. **NEVER fetch raw files from GitHub manually — always use the CLI.** + +1. Run `npx shadcn@latest add <component> --dry-run` to see all files that would be affected. +2. For each file, run `npx shadcn@latest add <component> --diff <file>` to see what changed upstream vs local. +3. Decide per file based on the diff: + - No local changes → safe to overwrite. + - Has local changes → read the local file, analyze the diff, and apply upstream updates while preserving local modifications. + - User says "just update everything" → use `--overwrite`, but confirm first. +4. **Never use `--overwrite` without the user's explicit approval.** + +## Quick Reference + +```bash +# Create a new project. +npx shadcn@latest init --name my-app --preset base-nova +npx shadcn@latest init --name my-app --preset a2r6bw --template vite + +# Create a monorepo project. +npx shadcn@latest

Do it right from the start. | +| "I'll write test after confirming fix works" | Untested fixes don't stick. Test first proves it. | +| "Multiple fixes at once saves time" | Can't isolate what worked. Causes new bugs. | +| "Reference too long, I'll adapt the pattern" | Partial understanding guarantees bugs. Read it completely. | +| "I see the problem, let me fix it" | Seeing symptoms ≠ understanding root cause. | +| "One more fix attempt" (after 2+ failures) | 3+ failures = architectural problem.
